My students are fond of the phrase "you got told" as a way of expressing that someone was just put in their place or taught a lesson. The speech we are going to look at today is the best historical example of that I have ever seen. You are about to see how Chief Red Jacket used logic, well reasoned argument and a very respectful tone to tell a group of white missionaries to buzz off.
